late start duo to storms in the area fished 13.00 - 19.00 streamer weed caused lots of problems worst all week then wind picked up. terrible weather conditions and weed made it imposable to present a bait properly no fish caught. will return later in year as area is fantastic.

No fish today. River low and clear - very bright/hot. Headed back to Stafford in the early afternoon.

Another nice day on this spectacular beat. The river is very low so it was hard going but a couple to the deep nymph and some to a dry, but never the same patter twice !!! Saw a couple of Herons and what I think was an Egret.
Thanks to W&U and the beat owners.

Tried spinning dam end and fly all over the res but not even a tug, Sunny, warm and flat calm, not the best conditions. Fished the west end,fly only end and again loads of nightlines set and even a tent hidden in the bushes, there are serious poaching issues here.

Stayed upstream - house very busy. Lovely balmy evening, river pretty low and banks very overgrown in places. Found the fish eventually on a ptn

Hard going with with the water being so low.Managed to eek out a small barbel and one chub all on luncheon meat

Perfect weather, sunny intervals and some cloud cover. Water in its bones but managed 2 gorgeous healthy WBT. One a pound and a half on Ballon Caddis in fast ripple. The second stalked and targeted in pool tail with rusty klinkhammer. Fab day.

This report and the one before it is for two anglers CT and AW - a total of 3 barbel caught - fell to one angler - CT.
The river has dropped a foot from last week and has cleared totally. We now need some rain to put some water back on it and colour things up a little. The canoe traffic was absolutely horrendous today - floatila's of canoes constantly, with people swimming on the opposite bank and dogs swimming fetching sticks - it was terrible today!
